Solid Figures...3D Shapes are EVERYWHERE!

3D Shapes

3D shapes are fat not flat.
A cone is like a party hat.
A sphere is like a bouncy ball.
A prism is like a building tall.
A cylinder is like a can of pop.
A cube is like the dice you drop.
3D shapes are here and there.
3D shapes are everywhere!

Sing that song a few times and it'll be stuck in your head for days!!! At least that is what happened to us!

Last week we started discussing solid and plane figures. What better way to review what we've learned than involving some food...because who doesn't like food?!? :)

Today we used bugles, captain crunch, snickers, kit kat's, mike and ike's and hershey kisses to review our spheres, cones, cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders and pyramids.


We sorted our solid foods into different piles based on their shape, we graphed our solid foods and determined which one we had the most of and the least of. The best part then was.....WE GOT TO EAT THEM! YUM!

           


We LOVE that learning can be so much fun!

It's great practice for the students to go on a solid shape hunt around your home and look for items that are solid figures. And they LOVE any reason to go on a scavenger hunt!!! Happy 3D shape hunting! :)
